Your team members will sometimes not be present 😮. No worries, they are just taking time off or recovering. Here's what you can do.

Holidays: time off ☀️

If you haven't please take a look at the section about time off for everyone:

Your team will put a request in for time off through Nmbrs. Nmbrs will inform you through email, you can accept or decline this request by clicking the link in the email.

We only track this to have a handy overview of who is off and when, for example for planning around projects and releases.
Keep in mind we don't pay out holidays at the end of the ride.
Make sure people take enough time off (4-6 weeks per year) by bringing it up every once in a while. But: it's their responsibility.
Make sure people communicate their time off well with the team and you. You have a say in this and you have to agree on someones time off (which will be fine in 99% of cases).
Make sure your people put it in the @all and their own agenda.
When life happens (funeral, moving, child, dentist), you have the liberty to agree on what is needed for this person in this specific situation. When in doubt, ask HR.
When people work hard, poke them to take time off so they recharge.
For longer leaves of absence (~4 weeks) ping HR for advice.
